I want you to reread your last post to me and tell me when it would be okay for a conservative to address issues of a conservative nature.

As long as Bush is in office I'm supposed to offer up 'a little less' (read that no) criticism, support him and help. Then in 2008 when another "conservative" runs, I'll need to support them and not criticize or they won't get elected. And if they do get elected I shouldn't criticize or they'll never get anything done. If they don't get elected I shouldn't speak up because I'll ruin their chances in four years.

This sounds like a thriving healthy conservative party to you? Lordy!

I stated that I support the war on terroristm with regard to Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. I cannot support allowing Yasser Arafat to continue his terrorist ways, and the condemnation of Israel for defending itself. I cannot defend open borders under dire terrorist desires to do us harm. I cannot defend allowing people from terrorist states to immigrate here. I cannot defend allowing commerce to enter our nation with as much as 98% of it going uninspected. While I'd like to support the president with regard to his war on terrorism, we have at best a very selective partial war on terrorism. With glaring holes in our terrorist safety net, we none the less have some of the most restrictive and draconian policies geared toward our own citizens. Why? If we're not going to go the whole nine yards, why not give our citizens the breaks, not the non-citizens from terrorist states and known terrorists?

I don't think this presidency or our nation is strengthened by silence on these issues.

Look, try and get a little objective here. You know full well that every person disagrees with a president, every person voices their concerns.

Yet, when those concerns are voiced as a threat of losing a vote, when those concerns are used to draw people to vote against him, when those concerns are used to join the trash Bush at all costs group - they are hurting the conservative cause and they know it because that is their purpose.

Look at Liberty Post. Any legimate concerns voiced - no - only trash Bush even worse that DU does. They openly admit that they cannot get their conservatism unless the world is "shocked" at how bad things are under a democrat so they help get a democrat elected. How does that help conservatism?

The next time a GOP candidate is in office - the very same will be done because he did not jump when they thought he should. So easy to sit and condemn what others can get done when you have to do nothing but critique.

So - please explain how conservatism is helped by these tactics. Looks to me like they are democrats in disquise. If it looks and acts like a duck - it is a duck.

Now - do you expect me to believe that these are legimate voiced concerns to get the word to President Bush? Baloney. These are to prevent Bush from winning another term and to throw the country into the control of the Democrats.

These "conservatives" do not earn any respect from me. They are working as fast as their fingers can to destroy President Bush and make a "statement", get into arguments to spred their venom and help the Democrat party.

All over the airwaves are people who have complaints against Bush. Any complaints against Kerry? Why are the complaints only against Bush? Now you add it up.
